5“ ‘When a person^a sins in that^b he hears the utterance of a curse and he is a witness or he sees or he knows, if he does not make it known, then^c he shall bear his guilt. ²Or if a person^d touches anything unclean, whether^e an unclean wild^f animal’s dead body or an unclean domestic animal’s dead body or an unclean swarmer’s dead body, but^g he is unaware of it,^h he is unclean and he is guilty. ³Or when he touches human uncleanness, namelyⁱ any uncleanness of his by which he might become unclean, but^j he is unaware of it,^k and he himself finds out, then^l he will be guilty. ⁴Or when a person^m swears, speaking thoughtlessly with his lips, to do evil or to do good with regard toⁿ anything that the person in a sworn oath speaks thoughtlessly, but^o he is unaware of it,^p and he finds out, he will be guilty in any of^q these. ⁵When he becomes guilty in any of^r these, he shall confess^s what he has sinned regarding^t it, ⁶and he shall bring his guilt offering to^u Yahweh for his sin that he has committed:^v a female from the flock,^w a ewe-lamb or a she-goat,^x as a sin offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him for^y his sin.
